Without Jerky and Honeybuns there would be a lot of hungry fisherman.. Get a good landing net from the get go that can handle monster fish. You will snap the cheapies like a toothpick when you try and boat anything over 35lbs. These aren't cheap but they are made in the USA and can haul in monsters no problemo.

I use 34lb and 22lb box anchors, and I have 500 ft of anchor rope. Usually you can get by with less weight, and length, but somedays that's not even enough.

A short length of chain will also help it stay set.
